No matter what time it is, from the minister of the dragon, he wants to seal his wife and son when the tide rises.

The loyalty of the Liangzhou army is naturally unquestionable; But their desire to stabilize their position is also real. This is due to human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it!

Since ancient times, when the horses are laid, the monarchs and ministers are all of the same heart, and the monarchs and the people are united; When it comes to the rule of the dismounted, the minds of those with vested interests will change.

When the war is rebuilt, the ruling class will try to win the hearts and minds of the people; When the times are peaceful and prosperous, the ruling class will show its ugly face of enslaving the people.

This is true of every dynasty!

As everyone knows, their subordinate societies were all bought with the sweat and blood of the people. Whenever they take power, they forget the people on whom they once depended.

This is human nature, and it will not change for thousands of years!

To be kind to the people is to be kind to the ruling class itself, and those with vested interests naturally understand this truth, but they will always leave it behind in the peaceful and prosperous period!

In fact, the ruling class should not be suspicious of the people, beware of the people robbing them of their interests; As long as the superior can treat the people well, the people will throw their heads and spill their blood with all their hearts.

The successor of each new dynasty can be as far-sighted as the first ruler; Then this dynasty will last for a long time, because it has won the hearts of the people and the support of the majority of the ruling class!

Li Mu believes that the vast majority of the people in the Liangzhou army and civil and military forces still do not forget their original intentions, they will act according to the law, and they will not do things that are rich or unkind.

Li Mu had thought more than once that he didn't want to do what Zhu Yuanzhang had done, and he didn't want to cut down those brothers who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood.

But at the same time, Li Mu has a firm belief in his heart, if there is one who has the right to know the law and break the law to enrich his own pockets and harm the people, he will never tolerate the traitorous and soft-hearted, no matter who this person is.

…………

"As you see ......"

Looking around at the civil and military forces in the tent, Li Mu asked with a little smile: "How many troops are needed for this Northern Expedition to foreign races?"

This question of their own lord really made the civil and military forces a little embarrassed, after all, they were not very clear about the strength of the alien races outside the Saiwai.

"In recent years, the Xianbei Wuhuan outside the Saiwai have attacked each other, and the trend of raiding in the south has weakened, and the combined strength of these two divisions will not exceed 500,000 people."

Just when the civil and military forces were pondering and meditating, Pang Tong, who was already in his chest, immediately said: "As far as I can see, our army only needs 400,000 cavalry to wipe it out."

After three or five breaths......

"What Shi Yuan said is exactly what I want!"

Seeing that the civil and military forces had no intention of making any more instigations, Li Mu nodded and laughed loudly: "Now, with the brave combat power of my Liangzhou army, 400,000 cavalry is enough to wipe out the alien races outside the Saiwai."

The Liangzhou military nodded yes!

"At present, in addition to the 80,000 water divisions left in Qingzhou, the strength of our army on the front line of Lu County has a total of more than 600,000 people."

Looking around at the civil and military forces, Li Mulang said: "I intend to select 400,000 infantry from the infantry on the front line of Lu County, and the rest of the troops will return to the prefectures. What do you think? ”

"The lord is wise!"

The Liangzhou military and civil and military forces seconded in unison.

"This Northern Expedition, some brothers are afraid that they will not be able to go."

But listening to what their lord said, the Liangzhou army was immediately enlightened, and it seemed that some of them were going to lead troops back to Fangzhou County.

"Lord, we are all willing to go into battle and kill the enemy!"

The Liangzhou army and the civil and military looked at their lords, and looked at each other again, they really didn't want to stay in the rear, they really wanted to charge into battle.

"Brothers want to kill the enemy's fighting spirit, I naturally understand."

Li Mu shook his head and smiled: "However, without a stable rear, how can our army be at ease in the Northern Expedition?" The rear is heavy, and people always have to be left to defend. ”

Zhong Wenwu nodded silently, praying in his heart, don't let yourself stay behind!

After five or six breaths......

"Zijun obeys orders!"

"The last general!"

Wang Ping hesitated, but still stood up, and said unwillingly: "Lord, Ping wants to go on the Northern Expedition with the Lord!"

"There is no room for loss in the heavy land of Liangzhou!"

Wang Ping looked at Li Mu, and nodded after all, "I am willing to guard Liangzhou for the lord!" ”

"It's still the general knowledge of the child!"

Li Mu praised Wang Ping for being true, and at the same time, he also let those generals who were responsible for staying behind in the rear... Don't fight for the Northern Expedition anymore.

Wang Ping thanked him and sat down.

"After the end of the military discussion, Zijun led a section of the Tiger Wing Army to the front line of Liangzhou; Ling Ze led a part of the Canglong Army to defend Yizhou; Xiu Yuan led a Qilin army to defend Jingzhou. ”

Li Mu, whose expression was full of solemnity, said in a solemn and deep voice: "Dexin led his troops to guard Yangzhou; Xiaoxing led the troops to guard Jiaozhou; Bodao stayed in Yanzhou; Gao Pei stayed in Xuzhou. Wu Yi was ordered from Youzhou to guard Yuzhou.

Wanger and the others are too of one heart and one mind with the states, treat the people well and guard one side, don't let me down! ”

"Wait, we will obey the orders of the lord and the army, and we will live up to the trust of the lord!" Wang Ping, Luo Xian, Feng Xihu, and the seven people of Hao Zhao and Gao Pei immediately stood up, gave a salute, and led the order in unison.

"The five states of Yanji, Henan, Xuyang, and Yang were initially decided, and the people were newly warned, and the people's hearts have not yet been fully annexed, and all walks of life are waiting to be lifted."

Li Mu looked at the direction of Deng Zhi and Li Hui, and issued a military order in a loud voice, "Bo Miao Deang stays in the five states and governs the civil affairs of the five states. ”

"The two of us will live up to the trust of the lord!" Deng Zhi and Li Hui stood up, gave a salute, and then received the order.

"My lord! The civil affairs of the five states are complicated, and with the strength of the two of us, it may be difficult to be fully competent! ”

Deng Zhi saluted again and said: "Zhi thinks that the lord can send someone to Chang'an City and order Gongyan Derong to come, and with the strength of the four of us, coupled with the overall coordination of Mr. Kong Ming, the civil affairs of the five states will be able to come naturally!"

"Okay, just according to what Bo Miao said!"

Li Mu nodded in agreement, and then, he repaired a letter and sent someone to Chang'an City to transfer Jiang Wanzhang to assist Deng Zhi and Li Hui.

"After the end of the military meeting, the second brother Boyo led the troops and horses of his headquarters and rushed to the front line of Bingzhou; The third brother Meng Qi led the troops to the Jizhou front; Han Shengjun led his troops and horses to the front line in Youzhou to prepare for the Northern Expedition! ”

Looking around at the civil and military forces in the tent, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Together with Shiyuan Evil Lai Gongming, I will first break the remnants of the Qingzhou Army in Lincheng, and when the time is ripe, I will cross the sea and take the waterway to capture the first line of Lelang County in Youzhou."

After the extermination of Gongsun Du in Liaodong, our army divided its troops into four ways and went out of the fortress in four ways, and the northern expedition was against foreign races! ”

"Wait, we will obey the orders of the lord and the army, and we will live up to the trust of the lord!" The civil and military forces of Liangzhou were busy standing up and receiving orders in unison.

Subsequently, everyone discussed the details of the Northern Expedition of Gongsun Du, the remnant of the Qingzhou Army, and then discussed in detail.
